Counter all that holiday cheer with a little murder. It's time for the annual Murder Ballad Ball.
It goes down Friday, December 9, at the Riot Room. Get deathy from 5 p.m. (doors) to 2 a.m. It's $10 and 21-plus. Enjoy local music from American Catastrophe, Cadillac Flambe, the Silver Maggies, the Blue Boot Heelers, Sons of Great Dane, the Delighted, Rural Grit All-Stars, Whiskey Breath, the PennySheets, Anthony Ladesich and his CoHorts, Cody Wyoming, Tommy Donoho, and Bob and Diana Sukiel. Matt “Slimm” Adkins will perform between sets. Other festivities include the funeral ball itself (dress formal; it's funeral themed, after all), raffles and a silent auction.
